Seeing Reds

"Seeing Reds" explores a critical and turbulent period in Canadian history during 1918-1919, when fears of radical political activity led the government to suppress labor movements and associate legitimate dissent with revolutionary threats. The book delves into Canada's Red Scare, culminating in the Winnipeg General Strike, and places these events within a broader international context, examining their enduring implications for civil liberties and government responses to dissent. Based on firsthand accounts and government documents, the narrative offers a compelling look at a significant yet lesser-known chapter of Canadian history.
